A LIVELY SHOOTING SCRAPE
Between Father and His Daughters Lover
Bad Workmanship Averts Tragedy.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
BRAZIL, Ind, Nov 5-Brazil was furnished
with a lively sensation this morning. which for
tunately did not become tragedy. The parties
to the transaction were Hon. George A. Knight,
a leading attorney and old citizen, and Mr..
David Kahn. young man employed as sales
man in his brothers clothing store here. For
some time past Mr.. Kahn has been keeping
company occasionally with a daughter
of Mr.. Wright, against the latters
notification to desist The two
together on Main street last night, in company
with other young friends. and when near the
knight residence Mr.. knight suddenly appeared
on the scene ond opened fire with a revolver.
Mr. Kahn walked off and the affair ended there.
This morning at about o'clock Mr. knight ap-
peared at the door of the Kahn clothing store.
revolver in hand, and seeing Kahn within, opened
fire on him. The fire was returned. Eve shots being
fred by each. The only damage done. however.
was a slight flesh wound on one of Mr. Kahus
arms. After the shooting Mr.. knight walked
down the street to his law Office The affair
created quite a sensation here as all the parties
are well and favorably known. Miss knight
has not yet completed a collegiate education
which her father designed giving her before her
marriage. which may have been principal
reason for her fathers action in the matter.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOL 1DIoCY.

THE PUBLlU SCHUUL lDlUU4.
I. is remarkable what the public school
system will stand without breaking down,
and it is remarkable what the public will
stand without open rebellion when the public
schools are involved. Organized to teach the
children of the country enough to make of
them good citizens, there have been added,
from time to time, various branches that
make the structure unwieldy and top-heavy;
and Just now there seems to be sort of an
epidemic to add more departments that will
further cripple the usefulness of the schools.
In Chicago the proposition is made to teach
swimming; in Milwaukee a department is
asked for to instruct youngsters
how to manage sailing vessels and steam
ships on the lakes; in Philadelphia cooking
is to be made part of the course; here at
home, and in other places the teaching of
German has already fastened itself on to the
system, and the school boards of dozens of
cities are constantly being urged to add man
uaI training and other useful but extraneous
departments to the overburdened courses of
study. The teaching of music and drawing
ought to have no place in public school cur
riculum, but they are there, and they seem
to have come to stay; the teaching of modern
languages is entirely foreign to the purpose Of
public schools but school boards seem power
less to uproot it, and now come these serious
propositions to spend money for instruction
in matters that are entirely beyond the limits
ri ho11 fbo,1
the warrant of law.
There is a growing feeling among parents
who are able to do it to place their children
in private schools, simply because the public
schools are weighted down with lot of
studies which the children are compelled to
take, or fall behind their grades; studies
which they have no taste for use for, and
which occupy the time they might pro6tably
put in at something that would educate them.
According to the system, the children must
be ground through the same mill, and be
stuffed into the same integument, which,
divided into links of exactly the same
length. each year is handed out as
the best the public schools can do. It
is unwholesome education, develops no in
dividuality and makes of children poor schol-
ars They know little of a great many
things, but not enough of any one thing to
do them much good. OF course some chill
dren stand this treatment and finally make
well-educated men ard women, but they do it
after they get out of public schools. There is
too much crowded on them without regard to
whether or not they like it, and unless the
educators" who have devised this wonderful
system begin to lop off the useless branches
already here and resolutely set their faces
against any further additions which may be
suggested, the schools will continue to decline
in popular estimation, as they certainly have
within the last few years.

ANARCHY AND LAW.

The cause of anarchism seems to be making
progress in unexpected quarters in Chicago.
When such men as Hon. Lyman Trumbull
and W. C. Cloudy are stampeded into signing
the amnesty petition and declaring themselves
against the enforcement of the law it is time
for the friends of law and order to take coun-
sci together. 1t is both disgusting and alarm
ing to find professional lawyers of the stand
ing of those above named, whose lives have
been devoted to expounding and enforcing
the claims of the law as the bulwark of our
liberties and the only safeguard of society,
suddenly abandoning the principles of life
time and casting in their lot with murderers
and assassins and the motley crowd of their
sympathizers. It i'll becomes these gentlemen
to add their voices to the noisy clamor that is
going up for the Anarchists. It is disgrace
for any American to do so or to be
threats and assassins who are filing
the air with their threats, but for
disciples of the law and ministers of justice
to become volunteer aids in the crusade of
markable. however, that they can give no
other or better reason for executive clemency
than those given by Anarchists themselves
The sentimental nonsense about protecting
the freedom of speech, and the preposterous
claim that men fought not to be hanged
merely for talking" is eminently worthy of
Anarchists and eninently unworthy of any
body else. The question of the freedom of
speech is not involved nor endangered. 1t is
question of liberty to murder. The men
under sentence of death in Chicago
made anarchistic speeches and published an
chistic papers for long time before the
bomb throwing began. They were never
nolested long they merely talked
Their freedom of speech was not interfered
with, and would not have been to this day
had they and their allies gone no further. It
was not till the numbering commenced that

German giving the name of Frank KreeselmeyeY
was arrested, and is held in custody upon hil
self-confrmed statement that he is the man who
threw the bomb in Chicago on May. 4, 1886.
He stuck to his story until late tonight, when
he acknowledged that he knew nothing about
the affair save what he had read, but, being in
sympathy with the cause, he believed it his
duty to declare that he threw the bomb and
thus save the lives of seven men. He is de-
spondent, and wants to reach Monroe, Mich,
where his children are.
